Surviving

By Skylar


I am in the middle of a fierce blizzard; the snow was coming at me like razors and the snow is as cold as the arctic. I try to last on the last morsel of food that I have.I am immensely famished I try to survive by eating chunks of snow but it is unbearable .My feet are aching pounds of snow absorbing into my deer hide shoes, and I have open sores on my feet.But to help me I use my cooper axe to climb up the steep mountain sides. Then suddenly, I see a faint spot of darkness in the distance. I quickly ran towards it to see it is a cave!!!. I am overjoyed as I go in the cave I see arrowheads left over from another clan, hair from another animal, and left over moulded animal meat.The smell of the rotten meat was so powerful I could taste it. As I comforted myself in the cave putting away my belongings.I looked outside the cave and I saw an animal struggling with walking. I run to it as fast as a cheetah.Finally, as I got two feet away from the animal I take a stop and try to pounce on him like a tiger.I miss and go tumbling down the mountain side with blankets of snow covering my body.I slowly get up using all my upper body strength to pull myself up. As I shuffle towards my cave trying to keep an upbeat attitude and try to forget about losing the animal.
